City takes stand against anti-trans violence Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
The City of New Westminster highlighted the fact that transgender people in Canada and around the world are exposed to widespread discrimination, stigma, harassment and abuse by proclaiming Nov. 20 as Transgender Day of Remembrance. The proclamation – a first by the City of New Westminster – states that transgender deaths as a result of violence are increasing worldwide each year, and the issue requires the attention of policy makers at all levels of government.
New West resident Hailey Heartless told council Monday night that Transgender Day of Remembrance was originally founded in 1989 to memorialize the murder of Rita Hester, a African-American trans woman who was murdered on Nov. 28, 1998 in Allston, Massachusetts. It has since evolved into an international day of action where the transgender community holds vigils and read the names of those who have lost their lives over the previous year. “In the last 10 years, the Trans Murder Monitoring Project has recorded 2,982 murders of trans-

gender and gender-diverse people worldwide,” Heartless said. “Each year, the numbers are climbing – 295 in 2016, 325 in 2017 and 369 this year. Discrimination against transgender people keeps us vulnerable, particularly when paired with overlapping oppressions such as racism, sexism, colonialism, ableism and sex work stigma.” Heartless said 62 per cent of those murdered were sex workers and 85 per cent of those murdered in the United States were trans women of color or indigenous trans women. “The intersectional problem of violence against transgender and
gender diverse people requires intersectional solutions,” she told council. “Policy makers need to assure that organizations you support which offer services to women are also offering services to transgender women.” Heartless said police and health-care services need to approach transgender people, particularly trans sex workers and indigenous trans people, with compassion rather than suspicion. She said schools need to advocate for resources like SOGI 123 (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identities), which work to protect gender creative children and
the children of transgender adults from stigma and harassment from their peers. For Transgender Day of Remembrance, Heartless encouraged people to take some time to reflect on those who have been murdered, as well as the countless unreported transgender lives lost to violence. “I feel very honoured to be here today and hear this proclamation,” said Coun. Nadine Nakagawa. “I really want to commend the community member’s courage in speaking out. I know it is not easy and it attracts a lot of hate, a lot of violence.”

City INFRASTRUCTURE
Front Street project in the home stretch Motorists in NewWestminster have experienced months of frustration due to MetroVancouver’s project to upgrade local sewers Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Motorists who may have had to put up with a crappy commute in recent months will be pleased to hear that work on a new sewer on Front Street is in the home stretch. Metro Vancouver has been working on a major sewer upgrade project in the section of Front Street between 10th and Begbie streets since April and is expecting to reopen Front Street next month. A section of Columbia Street that has also been partially off-limits to motorists will reopen next week. Colin Meldrum, division manager of collection systems and liquid waste services for Metro Vancouver, said the work that’s currently underway is connecting a sewer on Front Street into the system near the intersection of Front and Columbia streets. “We have done the work on Columbia.We have finished it up this week and we are in the process of trying to get the road repaved and opened up for traffic,” he told the Record on Nov. 15. “We expect Columbia to be back up and running normally on Nov. 20th.” While the section of Columbia Street on the north side of Kelly O’Bryan’s (the old Keg building) is expected to reopen next week, it will be about a month before Front Street reopens.
CONSTRUCTION WORK: Drivers are eagerly awaiting Front Street being reopened. “We are on the last piece of work right now, which is actually doing the connection work on Front Street itself.We have got a sewer that we built a while ago down Front Street and we basically just put a cap on it, so we could do the connection at a later date, which is where we are now,” Meldrum said. “That connection work should be done and Front Street should be restored about Dec. 15. That’s the target we are aiming for right now.” The sewer upgrade is related to
the Sapperton pump station that’s under construction near Cumberland and Brunette. It will eventually carry liquid waste from New Westminster and neighbouring communities to the Annacis Island treatment plant. “The sewer down Front Street will not be operational yet,” Meldrum said. “It is waiting for completion of the Sapperton pump station, which is under construction right now.” Construction of the Sapperton pump station is about two-thirds

done and set to be complete in 2019, Meldrum said. “This is a key piece of infrastructure that is going to help protect the environment and public health,” he said. “It’s one of a series of projects that are all going to work together to improve our sewer system.” The reopening of Front Street will be about six weeks later than expected, which is due to a number of challenges along the way, Meldrum said. “It’s probably one of the more
challenging projects I have worked on,” he said. “It’s working around the community, all the traffic issues, the sequence of events that have to happen.Then we had some challenges which we didn’t expect – there was more contaminated soils than we thought.There was debris in the excavation.” The original sewer that was built in the 1970s was laid on concrete, which came as a surprise to Metro Vancouver. “We did not expect to have this big masse of concrete underneath our sewer that we had to take out,” Meldrum said. “That was one delay.We had a delay early on in construction with the contractor unable to get some supplies, some specific manhole sections from the supplier.” While the project has been underway, regular vehicle traffic has been able to travel on most of Front Street but has been required to make a short detour on Begbie Street. Large trucks haven’t been allowed on Front Street and were rerouted to Royal Avenue. Meldrum said Metro Vancouver has had a few complaints about the project. “We are working closely to mitigate that,” he said. “Some of the businesses have expressed some concern.We are trying to work with all the stakeholders and get this done as soon as possible.”
Cote lands role as chair of Mayors’ Council for transit Man arrested in Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
New Westminster Mayor Jonathan Cote is taking on a new role in Metro Vancouver. Members of the Mayors’ Council on Regional Transportation elected Cote as chair for 2019 at the Nov. 15 meeting. “I think TransLink and the Mayors’ Council are in a really good position over the next number of years to deliver some big improvements to public transportation across the Metro Vancouver region.We have also got a huge opportunity to do some longrange planning about the next major investments in the region, too,” he told the Record. “I am looking forward to working with mayors all across the region, particularly with so many new faces around the table, to really start to chart and develop the long-range plans for transportation and public transit beyond the mayors’ 10year plan.” The Mayors’ Council, which includes representatives from municipalities throughout the region, is responsible for considering
SkyTrain changes: An artist’s rendering of the SkyTrain system Surrey Mayor Doug
McCallum wants for his city and Langley. PHOTO ILLUSTRATION SKYTRAIN FOR SURREY
TransLink plans dealing with transportation service levels, major capital projects, regional funding and borrowing limits. “As someone who is a big advocate, not only in the City of New Westminster but also in the region of Metro Vancouver, to me I am looking forward to the opportunity of being able to serve the region,” said Cote, who has previously served on some of the Mayors’ Council’s sub-committees. “Definitely there is going to be more responsibilities as the chair of the Mayors’ Council.There will be
more involvement with the TransLink board specifically. Definitely the calendar will be filled up with more meetings than normal, but it is something I will be able to manage in terms of my responsibilities and role as mayor of New Westminster.” In June, the Mayors’ Council approved Phase 2 of its 10-year plan, which includes a new streetlevel Newton-Guildford light rail line. Although TransLink has already spent millions on the $1.65-billion LRT project, the new Surrey
city council passed a resolution to scrap the project and support a SkyTrain extension. As a result of Surrey’s opposition to LRT, the Mayors’ Council voted to suspend the project. “As someone who has been a champion of the mayors’ plan and has supported light rail south of the Fraser River, my initial reaction was not positive to making these changes. Having said that, as the election has passed I think there has been a growing recognition from myself and from other mayors across the region that we do need to respect the new direction from the City of Surrey and recognize that it would be very difficult to move ahead with a billion-dollar infrastructure project in a community that was not supportive and not willing to be a partner,” Cote said. “I really think the region has had no question but to re-evaluate how rapid transit is going to expand south of the Fraser River. I do find it frustrating, given that it has been many years in the works and approximately between $50 and $70 million has already been spent on that project.”
poppy box theft Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
A Burnaby man has been arrested for allegedly stealing a poppy donation box in New Westminster earlier this month. The theft happened on Nov. 8 at the Royal Canadian Legion branch on Sixth Street in New Westminster. Police say the suspect entered the Legion around 2 p.m., ordered food and as he was paying at the counter, he tucked the poppy donation box into his coat. By the time staff noticed the box was missing, the man was gone.They found the empty donation box outside, according to police. Last week, New Westminster Police released surveillance footage of the suspect in hopes someone in the community could help identify him. On Nov. 20, police arrested Dwayne Edward Zbucki in Vancouver. The 54-year-old Burnaby resident has been charged with theft under $5,000.

New Westminster RECORD THURSDAY November 22, 2018 5
City EDUCATION
Not every New West teacher absence is covered by a sub
Cayley Dobie
cdobie@newwestrecord.ca
An average of two classrooms per day were not covered by a substitute teacher in New Westminster in October, according to a recent school district report. Robert Weston, the district’s director of human resources, presented the report to the board of education at a combined education policy and planning committee meeting last week. The report showed that in the month of October there were 41 total absences by enrolling teachers that went uncovered, according to Weston. Enrolling teachers are teachers who are assigned a specific classroom and nonenrolling teachers include teacher-librarians and resource and learning support teachers. The former school board passed a motion in October to have staff start track-
ing absences and coverage in the school district. This was the first report to come out of that motion. Former trustee Kelly Slade-Kerr, who put forward the motion last month, hoped that by keeping track of this information the district would be in a better position to mitigate any possible teacher shortage.
I would expect that the next report would be somewhat more detailed.
While the goal is to eventually track what teacher absences are covered by nonenrolling staff, right now the district could only provide the number of absences in October that were not covered, according to Weston.
“It’s the first time it’s come to you, and it’s still in development,” he told trustees. “I would expect that the next report would be somewhat more detailed.” Overall, the absentee rate for teachers in New Westminster was about six per cent. For special education assistants, the absentee rate was 14.5 per cent, according to Weston. The new school board asked why the rate of absences among special education assistants was so high compared to teachers, but staff were unable to provide any answers, noting the report did not look at why staff were missing work. (The report does not include staff away on short- or long-term disability.) Weston said the November report will include a breakdown of when enrolling teacher absences are covered by non-enrolling teachers or school-based administrators.

Opinion OUR VIEW
Be careful who you listen to in the PR debate
Premier John Horgan and BC Liberal Leader AndrewWilkinson recently went head to head in a televised debate over the ongoing referendum on electoral reform. The TV event was not exactly a high watermark in political discourse, as the two men repeatedly shouted over top of each other. It also involved our premier embarrassing himself by using the words “woke” and “lit” in a sentence. The BC NDP is pushing for voters to adopt one of
the three systems of proportional representation on the mail-in ballot, while the Liberals are hoping citizens will stick with the current system, first past the post. Unanimously, the crowds agree.The debate was a solid win for people who enjoy attacks over substance. They accuse each other of simply using the referendum as a means to better their chances of holding power in the future. And they’re both totally correct. This is why we would ask the electorate to get in-
The debate was a solid win for people who enjoy attacks over substance. formed by sources that don’t have partisan self-interest at stake.There’s no shortage of opinions, of course.This newspaper has lost count of the number of letters to the editor it has received in the past few months from people around the province giving their
thoughts on prop rep – but it’s definitely in the hundreds. Based on this huge volume of letters, you’d think the vast majority of people in B.C. are ready to make a decision. But you’d be wrong. According to the province,
only a small fraction of ballots have been returned so far – Burnaby’s turnout is in the low single digits – which means plenty of you have yet to make up your minds before the Nov. 30 deadline. Elections BC has published an excellent voter’s guide and videos on their website, which we would recommend as a good starting point. There are benefits and drawbacks in any system – stability, proportionality, local representation, simplicity and collegiality.
Your decision should be based on your big picture values, not your hopes for who forms government. As history has taught us, the political lay of the land is bound to change regardless of the system we have. Getting informed and casting a vote is a civic responsibility on par with paying your taxes and filling out the census. Ultimately, this is a question of who will represent you in government. All we ask is that you first represent yourself.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
PR will have deep impact on parties The two grand political coalitions that have governed B.C. for almost 70 years could undergo a dramatic transformation if the switch is made to proportional representation. Both the BC Liberals (the natural successor to the old Social Credit party) and the BC NDP would look radically different under PR. The Liberals would naturally split along a liberal-conservative fault line, while the NDP would likely evolve further into an environmental activist party that sheds the union and industrial roots that formed it in the first place. For a glimpse of how a PR system could affect the NDP, look no further than the results of the last election. A PR system would have rewarded the Greens about 14 to 16 seats, considerably more than its current three.That would have given the Greens a lot more power in any power-sharing arrangement it could reach with the NDP. For starters, the Site C dam would not have been completed.The huge LNG Canada investment would have been kicked to the curb.The Greens oppose both projects. And those union-friendly labour code amendments that are on the horizon? Bye-bye.The Greens would likely be fine with some of them, but not with moves like getting rid of the secret union certification ballot. A political partner with 15 seats has a lot more power than one that has just three. As I have pointed out before, the confidence
agreement the Greens have with the NDP required absolutely no bending by the New Democrats. Everything in that agreement reflected the NDP’s platform, not the Greens’. However, under a PR model that kind of imbalance would surely disappear. As for the BC Liberals, a PR model may yank them into the politically dire neighbourhood of social conservativism. The BC Liberals, as a big tent coalition party, have been able to hold those social conservatives – anti-gay rights, anti-abortion – largely in check over the years. Social Credit was also able to do that until the moment it could not and that’s when the party imploded. That occurred in the late 1980s, when then-premier Bill Vander Zalm tried to ban publicly funded abortion services, a move that tore the party apart. A price the Liberals may have to pay to hold power under any PR system may well be to court any Conservative party that has those social conservative elements within its small tent. Banning abortion outright would not happen, but softening things like protective bubble zones around medical facilities might. Big tent political coalitions do not last forever, of course. A number of factors can lead to their demise, but make no mistake – a shift to PR will hasten their disappearance or their radical transformation. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global BC.

Collectors dig up Chinese history While some archaeologists were upset at the sight of private collectors digging up 100-year-old Chinese soya pots at a construction site in New Westminster in August, museum curator Archie Miller saw the highrise construction as an opportunity to relive the past. Antique collectors had converged at a construction site in the 1000 block of Carnarvon Street, once site of the oldest Chinatown in mainland B.C.They dug up antique pots, glassware, coins, silverware and the occasional dainty little opium bottle. Almost all of the Chinatown buildings were already long gone. “If it weren’t for the redevelopment, we wouldn’t be reminded of it at all,” Miller said.

Housing has a productive value, which represents the various uses we make of it in our day-to-day lives. A home is a place that provides shelter, security and a sense of place in the community. Housing also has a speculative value, which consists in its monetary value and potential as an investment to provide future returns. The problem is that these two types of value can be in tension with one another. A recent letter to the Record plaintively describes the experience of visiting presentation centres for new highrise developments and wistfully imagining the experience of cooking meals, entertaining friends, and enjoying vistas in the units being marketed, but coming to the realization that these units are ultimately out of reach because of their unaffordability. The letter is a poignant reminder that what we need in this city is the development of genuinely affordable housing that provides productive value. New Westminster will need to add about 16,000 units to its housing stock over the next couple of decades to accommodate population growth. One proposed way of dealing with these density pressures is to take a market-dominant approach, which involves an unrestrictive attitude to development that allows the market to create more supply in response to the demand for housing.
While it is true that markets can be an efficient mechanism for allocating resources, the problem with this approach is that markets must be moderated to ensure the provision of public goods like affordable housing. When carte blanche is given to market-driven development, it increases the tendency to see housing as a commodity to be bought and sold for as much profit as possible. This orients development toward speculators. The right approach to deal with density pressures is not to oppose any and all development, but rather to hold that the primary standard by which we should measure development is the productive value that it provides to the community in the form of housing that is accessible, affordable, and family-friendly. Development should not lead to the displacement of those who already reside in the community. It is thus especially important to protect those most at risk of displacement – seniors on fixed incomes, the disabled, the poor, and those who are homeless. The city has a number of tools it can use to promote this type of development through policies like social housing, inclusionary zoning, and incentives for projects that benefit the community. In the end, however, the character of the city we live in is not the sole responsibility of the government or the market in the abstract, but rather the result of our collective day-to-day activities, decisions, and attitudes. While it is important to support good public policies concerning housing, we also have a responsibility to think about how our private decisions around buying, selling, and investing affect the flourishing of the community around us.

City gives updated timeline on replacement for Arenex
tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca
Work on a replacement for the Queen’s Park Arenex is continuing, nearly two years after the building was destroyed. A $4.3-million multisport facility – the Queen’s Park Sportsplex – will be built on the reservoir/tennis court site that’s located between the Queen’s Park Stadium and the former Arenex site.The building, consisting of a fabric cover over a rigid frame, will be erected next to the new skate park that’s set to be complete in December. In the summer, the city put out a request for proposals for architectural design services. “That work is continuing,” said Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation. “They are right now doing the back and
forth between design and cost estimates and making sure we have something that is going to be within the financial means of the city. We haven’t progressed to the stage yet where we are issuing a tender for the actual construction piece.” While the city is “actively” working on the project, Gibson said citizens won’t likely be seeing any action on the site until early 2019. Once construction begins, it will take a while to erect the 14,000-squarefoot structure. “We are expecting it will be a minimum of about 12 months,” Gibson said. “Once we enter into a contract with somebody who is actually going to be building the thing that’s when we can speak with more confidence about what construction schedules are. Right now, it is our best forecasts that we are able to provide.”
The Arenex, which collapsed under the weight of snow on Dec. 19, 2016, was home to a wide range of programs including gymnastics, trampoline, children’s drop-ins, badminton, indoor soccer, volleyball, ball hockey, basketball and pickleball. Earlier this year, the city approved a new name for the building – the Queen’s Park Sportsplex, which was considered a “general name” that reflects a wide range of sports activities. “The former name, Arenex, is not recommended,” said a staff report. “The rationale is that the name Queen’s Park Arenex creates confusion with the Queen’s Park Arena. In the past these facilities have been confused due to the naming similarities. Arenex is also ambiguous and does not provide a description of programs and services.”
Skate park nearing completion A new skate park in Queen’s Park is starting to take shape and aiming to open by the end of the year. Because the new high school is being built on the site of the former skate park, the city had to find a new location for the facility – ultimately selecting the old reservoir/tennis courts site in Queen’s Park. “Construction is moving along,” said Dean Gibson, the city’s director of parks and recreation. “We are a few weeks behind schedule from where we ideally wanted to be at this time of the year.There is no other particular reason why that has
been happening other than just the site conditions prior to when they started doing the concrete forming.” Gibson said it took a bit longer to start the concrete forming work than hoped because a fair amount of soil had to be excavated from below the tennis courts. “Some of those conditions, you can’t fully understand what they are going to be until you are actually in the ground. In that particular case, that is what happened,” he said. “We needed to remove more soil than was originally expected so that added some additional

time onto the project itself. We are well past that particular point now.” Crews are now working on forming the skate bowls and applying the concrete, Gibson said. “The current timeline for the completion of the skate park in Queen’s Park is end of December,” he said. “This schedule is, of course, somewhat weather dependent.The contractor is working through rainy weather by using tarps to keep the site dry, and lights to extend the available working hours. Prolonged periods of snow may have a more substantial impact.”

New West Artists launch Christmas pop-up Julie MacLellan
jmaclellan@burnabynow.com
New Westminster residents have a unique chance to shop for one-of-a-kind, hand-created gifts this season, thanks to New West Artists. The artists group is hosting a Christmas Pop-Up Gallery for the month of December at 712C 12th St., in the shop next to Renaissance Books. “We’re always looking for exhibition space, and we were very fortunate to come across this one,” said Julia Schoennagel, president of New West Artists. Schoennagel noted the group found the property through the landlord of one of its members; the landlord offered the space at a good rate for the month of December so New West Artists could hold a show and sale. The resulting pop-up gallery, which is being set up now, will carry work of all
kinds, from large paintings in all mediums to small works of art, cards, bookmarks, jewelry, crafts and more – all made locally by group members. New West Artists has about 50 members, and Schoennagel expects anywhere from 20 to 25 of them to take part in the Christmas pop-up.Works will constantly rotate so there will be something new to see every few days. Schoennagel hopes people will pop in to visit with the artists – some will be there to offer demonstrations and chat about their work – and, of course, to buy gifts for the holidays. “It’s perfect timing, because it’s before Christmas and we hope lots of people will come and buy art for Christmas presents,” she said. The shop will be open Thursdays through Sundays from noon to 6 p.m., with extended shopping hours
on the evenings of Dec. 7, 13 and 14, when it will be open to 8 p.m. In the long term, Schoennagel said, the artists group is eyeing a plan to use the space as a gallery in the new year. She’d love to see interest from other art groups in the city in forming an alliance to use the space for exhibits, workshops, demonstrations and meetings. In fact, the group is holding a public meeting on Monday, Nov. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Century House to discuss that idea. Anyone in the community who’s interested – particularly artists, artisans, crafters, writers and others who might benefit from a shared space – is invited to turn out at the meeting to find out more about the plan and help make it come to fruition. Those interested are welcome to turn out at the meeting or to contact Schoennagel in advance: 604519-1227 or president@

newwestartists.com. In the meantime, Schoennagel is hoping the Christmas pop-up shop will help spark an interest in locally
created art. “Before Christmas is the perfect time,” she said. The shop will be open Dec. 1 to 30, with a gala
opening on Sunday, Dec. 2 from 1 to 5 p.m. See www. newwestartists.com for more on the group.

Community CONTEST
The Record wants kids’ Christmas cards
The NewWestminster Record needs some artistic children to help decorate our front page and website this Christmas. We’re holding a contest in which your child’s awesome holiday artwork could be featured on the front page of our newspaper for a special edition – as well as on other pages and our website.There will also be some prizes of gift cards for the top three we choose – $50 for first and $25 for second and third. All we need now are some submissions. The contest is open to children who are kindergarten to Grade 3 age. Just sit them down and ask them to design a special holiday card with drawings and a message about Christmas, their family, Santa – whatever speaks to them from the heart. If your child doesn’t celebrate Christmas, then they can write about their family, their traditions, or something important to them. Local teachers are wel-
come to do this as a classroom project. All we ask is that you follow some simple instructions. ! The art must be designed on plain white paper no bigger than 8.5X11 inches (we need it letter-sized so it’s scannable for both print and online). !The young artists can use any type of colour in crayons, felt, pencil, pen or paint. ! Please ensure that included with your child’s submission are their full name, age, grade, plus a contact phone number and/or email address. The entries must be submitted by Friday, Dec. 7. They can be mailed to or dropped off at our office, 201A-3430 Brighton Ave., Burnaby, B.C.,V5A 3H4. Or, even better for the environment, you can submit a good quality, highresolution photo via email to editor Chris Campbell, ccampbell@newwestrecord. ca, with the subject line “Christmas card contest.”

New West singer onstage in contemporary Mozart A New Westminster performer is front and centre in a fresh take on one of Mozart’s best-known operas. Opera Mariposa is staging a contemporary interpretation of Cosi fan tutte (“They all do it”), Nov. 30 to Dec. 8 at Marpole United Church in Vancouver. New West soprano Kathryn Nickford stars in the leading role of Fiordiligi, double-cast alongside Jacqueline Ko (who appears Nov. 30 and Dec. 8). Nickford is an award-winning singer who has performed across Canada, garnering accolades including the Herbert and Audrey Belyea Trophy and a Rose Bowl finalist nod for Winnipeg’s Music Festival, and a senior class win at the provincial music and speech arts finals. She is best known to local audiences for her signature role, the Queen of the Night, from Mozart’s The Magic Flute, and she says she’s excited to sink her teeth into another famous

Mozart character. “Fiordiligi is so much fun to play,” Nickford says in a press release. “The plot of Cosi fan tutte is so wonderfully over-the-top, sort of like one of Shakespeare’s comedies, and Mozart’s virtuoso music is both a challenge and a treat to perform. I’m especially thrilled to be a part of a female-led, body-positive new interpretation of this work. Our reimagining moves the set-
ting to a beachside resort – I’ve performed in a lot of different genres, from classical concerts to burlesque shows, but this is definitely the first time I’ve sung opera in a bathing suit!” Stage director Robin Hahn says Nickford was a perfect fit for Fiordiligi. “Fiordiligi is a role that requires an exceptional voice as well as great dramatic and comedic gifts,” Hahn says, “and Kathryn is absolutely perfect for the role. Legend has it that Mozart deliberately made Fiordiligi’s music extra-difficult, due to a feud he had with the singer who first portrayed the character. All I can say is, Kathryn is more than up to it!” Nickford stars alongside an international cast hailing from across North America and Europe, conducted by Ian Dives and accompanied by Robin Goetz. Cosi fan tutte is onstage Nov. 30, Dec. 1, 7 and 8. See www.operamariposa. com for info and tickets.

Arts & Entertainment Pianist offers concert at Old Crow Music for all ages A six-time JUNO nominee who’s known for fusing classical and jazz is coming to New West for an intimate performance. John Stetch will perform at Old Crow Coffee Co. (655 Front St.) on Thursday, Nov. 29 as part of the Up Close Recital Society series. A write-up about the concert notes that the pianist, originally from Edmonton, has travelled a diverse musical path since being given a clarinet and music lessons at age nine. He was exposed to his father’s love of jazz, and he also played in a Ukrainian wedding band for many years – an experience that led to one of his most praised albums, Ukrainian-
ism (2002). In his late teens, he became drawn to the “rhythmic and harmonic possibilities and overall beauty and completeness” of the piano, as the write-up says. He switched to piano as his main instrument and earned a music degree from McGill University a few years later. In 1993, he moved to NewYork City, where he became the pianist in jazz bassist Rufus Reid’s band and also found a classical teacher – Burton Hatheway – who changed his life. Through the 1990s, Stetch collaborated with such artists as Jeff Ballard, Mark Turner, Chris Cheek, Joe Martin, Jorge Rossy,
Mike Murley, Rodney Green and Bill McHenry. Of the 15 CDs Stetch has recorded, six were JUNOnominated, including TV Trio, which features rearranged TV themes, and OffWith The Cuffs, which features Stetch’s “radical reinterpretations” of Chopin, Bach, Mozart and Shostakovich. Stetch is currently pursuing a master’s of music in classical composition at
UBC and is on the faculty of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra School of Music. He divides his time between Vancouver and New York City. Tickets for his Old Crow Coffee Co. concert are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m., and music starts at 7:30 p.m. See johnstetch.brown papertickets.com for information and tickets.

Community ‘Poverty-proofing’ schools won’t work
Banning pricy brand-name clothing and gear doesn’t address inequality Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan
Brand names have always been at the forefront of fashion fads in school. For my generation, it was button-fly Guess jeans, brightcoloured Club Monaco sweatshirts and lace-up Doc Marten boots that were the must-have styles of my high school days. There were brands that my parents couldn’t afford and brands that I begged for every single day – desperate to fit in with the high-priced teen trends. My mom did her best, scooping up lookalike styles from second-hand shops. Sometimes for Christmas, an overpriced top or pair of shoes would appear under the tree, leaving me shrieking with excitement.
Today, the desire for duds donning the biggest names in fashion still exists – only the names have changed and the price tags seem to have spiked significantly. For Woodchurch High School in Birkenhead – a town in northern England – those break-thebank brands have now been banned. A letter was sent home to the parents, outlining the clothing items that were no longer allowed.Topping the list of banned brands was Toronto-made Canada Goose jackets.With price points ranging from several hundred dollars to $1,000 per jacket, the school’s headteacher, Rebekah Phillips, explained in an interview with BBC News that the measure was put in place to “poverty-proof” the school. After receiving a let-
ter from a former student stating that economic backgrounds should not be rubbed in their faces at school, and hearing the same request from a few parents, Phillips decided to take action. Several schools in the U.K. have taken a similar stance on “poverty-proofing” classrooms, implementing bans on items such as expensive pencil cases. One school even requested all students carry the same backpack brand. While I think the intentions are good, I don’t agree that banning expensive items from school is sending the right message to kids. Economic inequality is common in schools – in fact, in the U.K. school that is enforcing the jacket ban, nearly 46 per cent of the students come from low-income families. Skirting the
issue by telling the students which clothes they can and cannot wear, doesn’t dissolve the issue or create equality, it just covers it up. Instead of banning all high-end brands, perhaps the inequality can be addressed in other ways. Schools could try educating kids about their buying habits, encourage community involvement such as organizing a coat drive for those families who are less fortunate, and find ways to explain the economic differences and how students are impacted as a result. There’s more value in turning differences into learning opportunities than in banning anything that makes those differences apparent. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor and marketing consultant. Find her online at @bitsofbee.

Big plays catapult Hyacks past Panthers
NewWest meets Terry Fox in rematch of last year’s B.C. final Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
Lord Tweedsmuir may have been undefeated, but the defending B.C. champions were undeterred. When the final whistle blew, the New Westminster Hyacks were semifinalbound. Now, they face the Terry Fox Ravens on Saturday (7 p.m. at B.C. Place) in what is a rematch of the 2017 Subway Bowl final. The defending Subway Bowl champion Hyacks sent the No. 1-ranked Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers packing Saturday with a 34-16 decision at B.C. Place. New West garnered control of the game early with a strong start, leading 14-0 after the opening quarter, then surged ahead after Tweedsmuir pulled within four points early in the third quarter. The resilience and determination of the Royal City side carried the underdogs – but when is a defending champion truly an underdog? – through situations where it looked like the Panthers had an advantage. All testaments to the program’s preparation and deliberance. “I was very proud of how our guys played. It was a complete win and we’ve been looking for that. It was a complete, all three-phases win,” remarked New West head coach Farhan Lalji. “(Coach Clint Uttley) did a great job on the defensive plan and offensively we just executed. GOING FOR BROKE: New Westminster’s Broxx Comia, at left, makes for open space during last week’s quarterfinal win over Lord Tweedsmuir. The Grade 12 “We knew how talented (Lord running back amassed 299 yards rushing and scored five times to help propel the squad into Saturday’s semifinal against Terry Fox.

’Bellies earn Hall of Fame honour for 1968 victory
Team played underdog roll to the hilt in beating Detroit for inaugural semi-pro league crown 50 years ago Dan Olson
dolson@newwestrecord.ca
The B.C. Sports Hall of Fame announced class of 2019 inductees includes a championship team from the Royal City. The hall’s 53rd induction class will honour the 1968 New Westminster Salmonbellies, an underdog that achieved a rare feat. The ’68 Salmonbellies didn’t exactly burn a hole through the newly formed National Lacrosse Association (NLA). Under the new league, a semipro circuit established by uniting
the Western and Eastern Lacrosse Leagues, New West finished third in the Western Division, behind Portland and Vancouver. But in the playoffs, the ’Bellies found their motivation – and momentum. They bested Vancouver in a hard-fought seven game battle, then stopped regular season champion Portland in six games. That pitted them against the Eastern Division champ Detroit Olympics in a best-of-seven series at Queen’s Park Arena. Facing the likes of future Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Famers like Gaylord Pow-
less, Doug Favell, Elmer Tran and Bruce Wanless, New West had its hands full – but were stocked with a deep core of veterans and a redhot rookie in Wayne Goss. The hosts went on to capture the NLA crown – an honour that would only be handed out one more time before the league disbanded. Paul Parnell, who led all Western Division scorers with 61 goals and 69 assists over 38 regular season games, added 21 more goals and 44 helpers in the 19 playoff games. Goss, meanwhile, would be named the W.C. Ellison Trophy
winner for playoff MVP after tallying 25 goals and setting up 13 others over 19 games. New West’s inducted roster includes: Bill Armstrong (GM), Ray Bennie, Barry Bolton, Albert Brown (honorary president), Barrie Brownlie, Ian Bull, Dennis DesLauriers, Steve d’Easum, Ron Flaten, Ed Goss,Wayne Goss, Ken Henry, Larry Henry, Ken Jew, Al Lewthwaite, Mickey Lynch, Gord MacNab (trainer), Dave Matheson, Ian Matheson (secretary-treasurer), Dave McDonald (president), Bill McMurchie, Doug McRory (playing man-
ager), Ken Mikkelsen (trainer), Les Norman, Ken Oddy, Paul Parnell, Dr. Hugh Radford (team doctor), Bill Scriver, Cliff Sepka (playing coach), John Shmyr, Paul Shmyr,Wayne Shuttleworth, Dave Tory, Ken Tory, Mac Tyler, Don Wallis, Bill Wilkes and Ken Winzoski. Also among the 2019 inductees are athletes Emily Brydon, Roy Gerela, Kelly McCallum, and Henrik and Daniel Sedin. The induction ceremony is slated for May 23 at the Vancouver Convention Centre.

New West faces Fox in rematch Continued from page 25 challenges, the Hyacks have built a different model for a winning season. As Philip’s notes, this year’s New West lineup does have 18 holdovers from last year’s champions. “There’s a different type of bond, switching from last year where I was really close to the seniors, to this year,” the Grade 12 pivot said. “I think it’s actually even stronger an
atmosphere.We had to work to come together, work to fight. “It’s completely different.This is not like last year.This is a completely different team, a completely different strategy, and we’re still rolling.” The B.C.
